Maximize 5 Lifestyle Points on Chase Sapphire Reserve

this Chase Sapphire Reserve® (See Rates & Fees) offers more than $1,000 in annual lifestyle credits—enough to easily offset its $795 annual fee. Covering dining, entertainment, fitness and transportation, these benefits add meaningful, everyday value to an already top-tier travel card.

When the card is renewed mid-year, only new cardholders (those who applied on or after June 23) will receive the new points. However, as of October 26, the full set of points is now available to all cardholders (including those who opened accounts before June 23).

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at each of the new lifestyle points and show you how to take advantage of them to maximize the value of your card.
